Yet another judge isn’t having Larry Nassar’s apologies

Sentencing in the biggest sexual abuse scandal in U.S. history drew to a close Monday, as a Michigan judge sentenced former sports doctor Larry Nassar to spend another 40 to 125 years in prison for three counts of criminal sexual misconduct.

In total, Nassar — who stands accused of sexually abusing more than 250 women and girls throughout his decades treating elite gymnasts — has now been sentenced to spend up to 360 years in prison, for several crimes. In December, a federal district judge sentenced Nassar to 60 years for possession of thousands of images of child pornography; in January, a Michigan county circuit judge sentenced him to an additional 40 to 175 years in prison for seven counts of criminal sexual conduct.

Prior to his sentencing on Monday, Nassar, 54, apologized to the people who’d read victim impact statements in the Eaton County, Michigan, courtroom.

“It’s impossible to convey the depth and breadth of how sorry I am to each and every one involved,” Nassar, who pled guilty to all charges, said. “The visions of your testimonies will forever be present in my thoughts.”

But Nassar’s statement failed to convince Judge Janice Cunningham. Before issuing her sentence, she told him, “I am not convinced that you truly understand that what you did was wrong and the devastating impact you’ve had on the victims, family, and friends.”

Cunningham comments echo remarks made by Judge Rosemarie Aquilina last month, when she sentenced Nassar in her Ingham County court. Aquilina also had zero pity for Nassar: After reading a letter to the court where Nassar alleged his victims’ stories were “fabricated,” she tossed the letter aside.

“You have done nothing to control those urges, and anywhere you walk, destruction will occur to those most vulnerable,” she said, adding, “You decided to not address what’s inside you that causes this control urge, that causes you to be a sexual predator. So your urges escalated.”

Several investigations are now seeking to discover how Nassar’s abuse, which was purportedly first reported to authorities as early as 1997, could have gone on for so long. Nassar is reportedly also the subject of more than 100 civil lawsuits. USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University, which employed Nassar, are also defendants in some of those lawsuits, as victims claim these institutions ignored or failed to properly investigate reports of abuse.

Nassar will first serve out his federal punishment before turning to his state court sentences, which will be served concurrently.
